Ingredients
- 450 grams beef sirloin
- 300 grams asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons beef broth
- 1 teaspoon erythritol or stevia (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain for tenderness, and set aside.
Step 2
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends. Cut the spears into 2-inch pieces.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced ginger, beef broth, and erythritol or stevia (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set the sauce aside.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned but not fully cooked. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the asparagus to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 7
Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and asparagus. Stir to coat everything evenly, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef is fully cooked.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly stir-fried beef with asparagus!
